Great Lake stop before Grand Tetons

Not secluded. Private property surrounded. Still peaceful though. There’s a few lots you can stay in that are flat and would be good for tents. A parking lot for bigger rigs. Water is clear and not too cold. Clean bathrooms. Bear country but you’re close to others so it feels safe.
